Pressure injury/ulcer is localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissues primarily caused by prolonged unrelieved pressure, particularly in patients with limited mobility. The increasing incidence of pressure injuries as a result of aging population and growing number of nursing home residents along with the posing socio-economic burden highlights the importance of increasing our understanding of this global problem, and the available preventive and therapeutic strategies. Surgical intervention using flap reconstruction is the mainstay therapy for management of pressure injuries with advanced stages. We present a comprehensive review on various types, indications, advantages and limitations of flaps used in reconstruction of advanced-stage pressure injuries.
压力性损伤/溃疡是皮肤和/或皮下组织的局部损伤，主要由长期未缓解的压力引起，尤其是在行动不便的患者中。由于人口老龄化和疗养院居民数量增加导致压力性损伤的发病率上升，以及由此带来的社会经济负担，凸显了加深我们对这一全球性问题以及现有预防和治疗策略理解的重要性。使用皮瓣重建的手术干预是晚期压力性损伤管理的主要治疗方法。我们对用于晚期压力性损伤重建的各种皮瓣的类型、适应症、优点和局限性进行了全面综述。
